Month In Review: September
Overview
Welcome to our Month In Review, where we discuss the important developments within the XBorg ecosystem that occurred in the previous month.
Product
MyBlue Marketing Launch
Team Liquid started its MyBlue marketing last month by targeting their Dota and World of Warcraft fanbases. They rewarded their Dota fans with an exclusive Eternal Shield of Champions, unlockable only in MyBlue, to commemorate their Dota 2 International win. They hosted a giant prize bundle giveaway on MyBlue for their World of Warcraft guild as part of their Race to World First campaign. The bundle included a Team Liquid Secret Labs gaming chair, a signed RWF jersey and more.
Token
CoinMarketCap & CoinGecko Listing
Last month, the XBG token was listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. Listing on these two prominent token-tracking platforms increases the token’s awareness and credibility. You can add XBG to your watchlist and support the community sentiment by leaving a comment.
Reward Program S2
We partnered with the biggest gaming projects for Season 2 of the XBG Reward Program, adding multiplier boosts for their NFT holders. Overworld from Xterio, Revolving Games, Creepz from Portal, Neo Tokyo, L3E7, Today the Game, GAM3S.GG and more joined the program. As a result, we broke our previous pledge record of 50M XBG pledged and now stand at 85M XBG pledged for Season 2.
Company
IRL Events
Last month was the busiest event month we’ve ever had! We attended Token2049 and Solana Breakpoint in Singapore and ESI Lisbon in Portugal. In Singapore, we met our current Web3 partners and network. We also made many new connections at leading blockchains, exchanges, funds and more. In Lisbon, we connected with new esports teams and content creators to discuss their needs and how our products can solve them. Keep an eye on our socials for new partnerships; you’ll see the results of these trips in the coming months.
Esports Partners
Two of our esports partners, Team BDS and Team Liquid, made headlines in September. Team Liquid caught the world’s attention after winning the Dota 2 International in sublime fashion. They beat Gaimin Gladiators 3–0 in the Grand Final, taking home $1.1 million and making Team Liquid two-time International winners. Team BDS won the Rocket League World Champs in Texas last month, taking down G2 Esports in the Grand Final and netting themselves $300,000.
Press
In September, Neo Tokyo invited us to participate in episode 48 of their Interlinked podcast. We discussed player identities, the state of Web3 gaming, and esports, among other topics. You can view the full interview here.
Community
Contests
In September, we hosted a companion concept art contest. Creators within our community had two weeks to design the concept art for our very first companion. The top five designs were selected and voted on by our community to determine their share of the 20,000 XBG prize pool. Realschism won the contest with his design, which will be refined by our team, 3D modelled, and unlockable in our apps in the future.
Spaces
Last month at The Fireplace, we recapped the events, drama and takeaways from Singapore with Omar from GAM3S.GG and Luc from Medieval Empires. We discussed the Redacted Airways flight, the Iggy Azalea Rodeo, and the prominent narratives heard around the events. We also hosted Ultra and Ashes of Mankind ahead of their NFT mint to discuss their plans for their game, token and ecosystem.
Collabs
Last month, XBorg NFT holders were spoilt courtesy of our collab manager, Enissay. We collaborated with multiple projects and received whitelist spots and exclusive access codes from Gomble Games, Today the Game, Time of Emergence, Paragon, Valannia, Darktimes, Moonray and much more. If you missed out on these giveaways, you probably don’t have an XBorg Prometheus or Prometheus Chestplate NFT.
Growth
In September, we received over 340,000 impressions on X, our engagement rate was 6.3%, and 1,600 people visited our profile. On Discord, over 9,1800 messages were sent by 438 people, excluding moderators. The XBG token started the month at $0.075 and ended at $0.089, showcasing an 18.6% increase for September.
September was an eventful month for us at XBorg, but with so much on the horizon, we are even more excited for the months ahead. If you have any questions or want to connect with us, join our community on Discord.
